Professor Geraldine Clough BSc, PhD
Emeritus Professor of Vascular Physiology
Professor Geraldine Clough is Professor of Vascular Physiology within Medicine at the University of Southampton where her research focuses on the life course determinants of microvascular dysfunction.
Delivery to and exchange of materials within the microvasculature represents the payload of the entire cardiovascular system. We need to know when and how this goes wrong – and be able to measure this.
Geraldine Clough studied Physiology at University College London where she completed her PhD on the mechanical and transport properties of the microvasculature in 1997. She has held academic positions in the University of Oxford and at St Mary’s Hospital Medical School, Imperial College London before moving to the University of Southampton in 1996 where she was one of the first Wellcome Trust Re-entry Fellows before being appointed Professor of Vascular Physiology in 2007.
Professor Clough’s group comprises basic biomedical scientists, clinicians and engineers, and has strong links with industry. Through these links Geraldine Clough has played a leading role in developing and evaluating techniques for the assessment of tissue perfusion and nutrient delivery.
Professor Clough has held external positions within learned societies, as member of Council of the Physiological Society, Senior Editor of the Journal of Physiology, member of the Executive Committee of the Journal of Physiology, President of the British Microcirculation Society, member of the European Society of Microcirculation Executive and Awards panel and the International Liaison Committee. She has been a Visiting Professor at Southern University China (2008-2011) and is currently Visiting Professor at Kings College London..
